Marriage of the Di Daughter

Chapter 4 The Temple

It rained all night, and the next day it cleared up, and the mattresses in the house were all wet.

Tong'er was drying the mattress, Jiang Li was sitting in the room, and there was a stack of shoe soles on the table. This is what she does every day. After paying fifty shoe soles, she can get a bunch of copper coins. Copper coins are useless in this mountain, and Tong'er can't go down the mountain, so he can only wait for the peddler who came up the mountain to arrive and buy some sugar cakes from him.

This is the only luxury Jiangli and Tonger have.

Looking from the window, Tong'er was stepping on the stool to dry the mattress, and a nun in a gray robe walked by not far away, without looking at them.

They can't control these nuns, and Jiang Li made a mistake and was sent here, and there is only one Tong'er with her. Tong'er is the maid Ye Zhenzhen chose for Jiang Li, and she has been by Jiang Li's side all the time.

The little girl was quite angry, and looked at the backs of the two nuns going away, she gave a "bah" and cursed: "Hairless hen!"

Jiang Li knew that she scolded her because she felt uncomfortable when she went to ask for a bed in the morning and was rejected, so she couldn't help laughing.

What kind of master there is what kind of servant, Tong'er has been here for six years and it is still the same, probably the original Miss Jiang Er has a more violent temper. Think about it too, if you don't get violent, you can't do things like killing yourself in anger.

Will such a fierce person complain about injustice after pushing his stepmother to have an abortion?

Jiang Li thought about the things she found out from Tong'er. It is said that Miss Jiang Er refused to admit to hurting her stepmother to death. Jiang Li thought, if she really did it, she should admit it loudly and confidently.

But these are not important now.

When Tong'er came back from drying the quilt, she sat beside Jiang Li. She was frightened by Jiang Li, for fear that Jiang Li would throw herself into the lake if she didn't pay attention, so she has been guarding Jiang Li every step of the way for the past few days. Seeing that Jiang Li was in a daze, she picked up the sole of the shoe and started to make it by herself. Jiang Li looked at the dense needle holes on the little girl's fingertips, grabbed the sole and threw it away, saying: "Don't do it."

"Huh?" Tong'er was puzzled, "The peddler will be here in three days, doesn't the girl want to eat maltose?"

Jiang Li shook her head, and asked back, "Do you want to sit here for the rest of your life, just waiting for the monthly maltose?"

"Of course I don't want to." Tong'er asked, "But we can't get out here now." After finishing speaking, he muttered: "I wrote letters to the master and the old lady of the Ye family before, but there was no reply Well." Tong'er's small face collapsed, "Isn't it because I forgot us?"

Jiang Li sighed, let alone deliver the letter, I'm afraid their every move right now is under the nose of others. Generally, ladies who have made mistakes are sent to the family temple. Because the host family also sent money to take care of them, the people in the nunnery will not send them anywhere. And the nuns here are obviously trying to make things difficult. After Jiang Li fell ill, she didn't even invite a doctor. I'm afraid it was all Yanjing City's idea.

As for who it is, there is no need to guess that it is the stepwife.

If Jiang Li really caused her to have a miscarriage, Ji Shuran would definitely not let Jiang Li go. If Jiang Li didn't make her have a miscarriage, Ji Shuran made this scene to not let Jiang Li go.

What's more, now that Jiang Li's marriage has been robbed, Jiang Li has nothing left, a grandparent's family that she has rejected and never interacted with? Even if the abandoned daughter-in-law was killed in this place, there would be no disturbance.

But why didn't Ji Shuran kill her?

Jiang Li didn't think it was the other party's kindness, maybe it was because she had other uses for the stepwife, or for the Jiang family. Isn't it often the case that daughters are used as stepping stones to marry others, paving the way for father and brother's official career, just like Shen Yurong. The difference is that Shen Yurong regards herself as a bargaining chip in the marriage, and Xue Fangfei as a stumbling block.

Second Miss Jiang reminded her of herself, the same being robbed of her things by others, the same being taken over by doves, and the same being unable to defend herself.

Tong'er watched Jiang Li's face darken, and couldn't help shivering.

For some reason, Tong'er felt that the Second Miss had become a little strange since she woke up. Second Miss has always said one thing and another, and she is outspoken. I even fought with the nuns in the nunnery, and I was easily excited and angry. Of course, this was not the fault of the second lady, it was all the fault of those bad guys.

It's just that the second young lady who woke up has never been angry. She was gentle and gentle, and she spoke softly, making people wonder what she was thinking. And when she didn't speak and think, Tong'er felt a little scared.

Jiang Li's fingers caressed the insoles sewn in front of her. The stitches of the insoles were fine and tight. Although Tong'er was a little noisy, her needlework was really good.

She has to find a way to get out of here.

Xue Fangfei in Yanjing City should be dead, but she doesn't know how the two bastards, Princess Yongning and Shen Yurong, lied. She wanted to go see Xue Zhao again, and had to find a way to go back to Tongxiang. Xue Huaiyuan died, and her two children also died. Who would collect his body? She has not seen Xue Huaiyuan for the last time.

She wants to leave here, but now in Yanjing City, no one in the entire Yan Dynasty remembers her Jiang Li, a person who no one remembers, will not be taken away from here.

That being the case, the only way to leave here is to take the initiative.

If no one remembers, it is not difficult for the world to remember.

Jiang Li suddenly smiled.

Tong'er looked at her in surprise, this was the first time Jiang Li smiled, either the previous sneer or wry smile, or a happy and comfortable smile. This smile instantly made her withered and yellow face come alive, as bright as a flower in the morning.

"Tong'er," Jiang Li asked her, "You said there are shopkeepers who will go up the mountain?"

"Yes," Tong'er said, "Businessman Zhang comes here at noon on the tenth day of the fifth lunar month every year. We have made an agreement with him. If there are delicious pastries and candies, come to us first and let us choose."

On the other hand, the maids of rich families, even if they are down and out, even if they can only produce a bunch of copper coins, they still speak with a lot of momentum.

"Is there a lot of sugar?" Jiang Li asked.

"A lot." Tong'er asked, "Miss, do you want to eat candy?"

Jiang Li smiled: "I think so."

It's too bitter, because it's too bitter, so I miss the sweet taste of honey, these sugars can make her taste sweet, and some people feel bitter.

Tong'er happily said: "It's fine if the girl wants to eat candy. We saved some more copper coins a few days ago, and we can exchange several baskets. You can eat as much as you want!"

Jiang Li said: "You said that Helin Temple is nearby, right?"

Tong'er stared at her blankly, and asked, "Does the girl want to go to incense too?"

"No." Jiang Li said, "I don't believe in Buddhism."

Tong'er was puzzled.

Jiang Li's smile softened a little, and she said, "There is nothing to believe in the Buddha."
